I am getting complaints that the Full Width Background Gallery is very slow loading. I have saved the images used to web sized images to help load but it does not matter. It seems to be the javascript that is slow, not the images. How do I disable the background gallery and go with a standard single image background that will not load down the page load time?

I would just use a single image in the background gallery but that does not help either. Every time a person visits a different page on the site it has to load all over again.

By the way. I do like this theme. If I can fix this problem then I will say perfect!

Please send us the URL for your site to sortout the issue. However, in our testings we didn't find any issues regarding slow loading. Still, if you can share the site's URL, we'd be able to take a look at what's causing such issue. Thank you for your patience.

I did already used multiple images but decided to go with just one in order to see if that would speed the load time. I also shrunk the size of the images used and that did not help. The delay is still around 15 seconds load time. To me is seems that the javascript is lagging not the size of the images.

How do I disable the background from working at all so that I can go with a static background image if I choose to do so?

I compressed my image even more. It is very small now. 179KB. That did help a little, but there is still a lag of about 3 seconds on my pages with maps and contact forms. Also I notice that one my Droid Razr phone when I scroll all the way to the top or the bottom of a page, I have the same reloading of the background image.

Is there a way that I can get this to not happen anymore? I love your theme, but this is not making the owners of the URL happy. Can I change the load order of the javascript or something else to take care of this? And as I stated above, if not, how do I remove the background gallery and go with a static background that is just called by my css?
